Subject: Kernel unable to adjust timeofday
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:29:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gbio4j$aqq$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hello, my system (64bit Ubuntu amd64 box) drifts about 10 seconds per hour
(i.e. time visible in the system).
When I adjust the date (i.e. by ntpdate) then the adjust works (but has to
be repeated each few minutes at least).
When I use adjtime(), or when I use ntpd that uses adjtime() then the
adjustment is slower then the speed of drift.
The default rate of adjustment seems to be really low, can we set the
default adjustment rate to be a higher?
